File under: Finished at 4 a.m. because OMG. The Suffragette Scandal is a new Courtney Milan book and therefore the reviewers of Romanceland are swooning like Directioners at a meet and greet. Let’s not pretend I’m above that. Do we even need a review? Can we go now? Ok, fine! Free has replaced Smite… Read more »

I’m giving up on K.M. Jackson books for now. Two DNF reviews in a row feels less like reviewing and more like piling on. I picked up Seduction’s Canvas because it’s in the third person. Jackson’s Bounce has a lot of strong reviews, but the first person didn’t work for me. Seduction’s Canvas… Read more »

Trapped At The Altar has a street date of July 22nd but I can’t wait. (Sorry, kids.) Jane Feather was highlighted in June by NetGalley. While the synopsis didn’t grab me, the advance chatter did. This is an awful, terrible, no good book with a slut heroine whore? TELL ME MORE! (Well… Read more »

The Millionaire’s Ultimate Catch rode the DNF line all the way to the finish. Every time I decided this was it and I could read no further Michelle Monkou tossed another curve ball at me. We made it to the end but it was an ugly win. Wow. I mean,… Read more »

I was talking on Twitter yesterday about how books with tattooed heroes with violent tempers are frequently described as “edgy” and how it didn’t make sense to me. How can a violent construction of masculinity be “edgy” when it’s clearly the norm? Wouldn’t a straight hero who’s really into musical… Read more »

This is a DNF review. I’ve been trying but I never get more than three chapters into When The Marquess Met His Match. Mostly because I dislike both of the leads. The set up is that Lady Belinda Featherstone’s father was unable to gain her entry into New York society… Read more »

This month’s TBR Challenge called for participants to read a “classic” romance from their stash, for whatever definition of classic the reader decided on. I decided to define classic as “old” and went diving through my stash for books old enough to buy a pack of cigarettes and a scratch… Read more »

Liberty Strong is a recently divorced mother of two trying not to lose her house, her home or her life. When a fellow actress ends up dead on the set of her hit daytime drama, it looks like Liberty’s cat and mouse game with her boss has turned into real life murder…. Read more »
